Manitowoc

Located on the edge of Lake Michigan and the confluence of the Manitowoc River, Manitowoc, Wisconsin has a long maritime history. Near to the larger cities of Green Bay and Milwaukie, Manitowoc’s early European settlers used the town as a hub for shipbuilding, a trade that continues to bring revenue to the city today. Manitowoc has a number of attractions that celebrate the city’s history including the Wisconsin Maritime Museum and the Rahr West Art Museum, which is located in a beautifully restored 19th century home. Manitowoc continues to be the United States’ largest producer of yachts, and the city is home to the oldest yacht builder in the country, Burger Boat Company.
